Step 1: Ring ticket office.
Step 2: Hold for a few mins listening to music (contributing a few pence to the club coffers) until troop is free and answers.
Step 3: Quote member number or name and secure ticket over phone.
Step 4: Confirm if you want it posting, or leaving for you to pick up (I chose the latter).

Simples!

Step 0.01 get a Dewsbury season ticket holder to buy them for you. Woop!

To buy them?
I don't think so.

Step 0.001 check first if eligible for free ticket...

I'm not saying anyone will have done anything so underhand but lets imagine a scenario whereby a Dewsbury season ticket is asked to obtain himself a ticket for the game and 5 more for some Bradford fans who are not season ticket holders. In that unlikely scenario the extra 5 would need to be paid for.

Is it not due to the live tv game before hand. As they normally KO at 3-15.

The Car boot is long gone before then.

Strangely most games kick off later than the advertised times, but clubs [inever[/i give kick off as 20:03 on Friday night or 15:32 on Sunday afternoon.

Guess which moronic mod added his post using the edit button instead of the quote button AGAIN....

What a gimp

"But as Debaser says, what ever the cause you'd think 3.30pm would be the sensible time rather than 3.20pm which might conceivably have people scratching their heads as they enter the ground to find its already kicked off.

No big deal of course - just odd."

This is me.

Imposter! Abuse of Power!

I have my Dewsbury tickets now

The Rams Carnegie Challenge Cup 4th Round tie against Bradford Bulls is on course to be a sell-out. With almost 2 weeks still to go until the match, there are less than 200 tickets remaining and any fans who haven't yet bought theirs are urged to get them as soon as possible before they're all gone.

The match will be played on Sunday 18th April at the Tetley's Stadium, with a 3.20pm kick off. Tickets can be purchased online here, over the phone on 01924 465489 or in person from the Tetley's Stadium.

I've had my tickets for a good three week now and it's going to be great for the Dewsbury club to have a full house for the first time what must be a good four years since Castleford were in the lower league.

I can't wait, looking forward to this game

Dewsbury are going pretty badly at the moment. With no direspect intended we really do need to give 2 or 3 of the big lads a week off.

Agreed.

Lynch & Menzies

Could be perfect game to give young Southernwood a game too.

Bit early imo. Needs to bulk up before he plays in the first team.


Olbison, Crookes & G Burgess to get a go for me.

If we don't put out a strong team and do a Halifax v Hunslet we might look a bit stupid.

I certainly don't think we should put out an entire reserve team. However we will surely use this as the opportunity to give at least 2 or 3 players a bit of a rest and 2 or 3 young lads the chance to try to impress.

Personally, I'd agree with Lynch and Beaver and would probably rest Ox, Nero, Kearney or Langley too.

You could go with:

Reardon/Halley
Sheriffe
Platt
Crookes
Halley/Reardon
Sykes
Southernwood
Scruton
L'Estrange
Kopczak
Whitehead
Hall
Donaldson
SUBS
Godwin
Olbison/T Burgess
Crossley
G Burgess

That to me may be a little overkill on the resting and it's still a team I'd think would comfortably win the match. Bear in mind Dewsbury have lost 6 from 6 this year in the league, against Keighley, Featherstone, Batley, Toulouse, Sheffield & Widnes. They also lost to Leigh and Fax in the NRC. The only teams they've actually beaten this year are Rochdale, London Skolars and Drighlington!

While we don't want to take it too easy and end up embarrassed, similarly we don't want to take it too seriously and risk players that really don't need risking, as well as giving up the opportunity to give some youngsters a chance.

I don't think we need to be leaving too many out. Southernwood is not ready for first team action! Much too lightweight atm, even against Dewsbury.

Halley
Sheriffe
Crookes
Platt
Reardon
Addy
Kearney
Scruton
L'Estrange
Kopzcak
Olbison
Whitehead
Donaldson

Wagga
Hall
Burgess
Tate/Wardle/Worrincy

In fact, looking back on that i think i'd put Reardon at the back and Halley on Crookes' wing.

I don't have a problem with bringing in fringe players for this match but we need to keep the following in IMO:

1. Kearney
2. Sheriffe
3. Platt
4. Nero
5. Halley
6. Sykes
7. Orford
9. L'estrange

In order to make sure that the combinations above get more game time as it's only been three league games so far.

There certainly is some sense in leaving the 1,6,7 & 9 combos especially. Although I get the feeling Orford won't be risked in a game like this.

I'd be looking to rest Orford, Kearney, Lynch, Langley and Menzies.

If we cannot beat Dewsbury with 5 players missing then we don't deserve to win the CC anyway!

I'd swap Kearney on that list with Nero, L'Estrange or Hall.

don't think I'd be comfortable resting both kearney and orford. think one of them at least should play, probably kearney as he has age on his side. Same logic for lynch and langley with probably lynch getting the week off. I'd be surprised if we make menzies play in this one.
